ETHIOPIA - Life in prison for Ethiopian runner Besu Sado
Ethiopian runner Besu Sado was sentenced to life in prison after being found guilty of killing her husband. Former athlete Teshale Tamru was stabbed to death in their house by two men hired by Besu Sado and her two brothers in August 2022. The five people were charged but one of her brothers and the two suspects are still on the loose.
Asked about the reason for the murder, Beso Sadu said her husband did witchcraft on her family, her mother and her brothers to prevent them from succeeding.
Besu Sado clinched a silver medal in the 1500m at the 2015 All African Games and finished 9th at the Olympic Games in Rio the following year (PB 3:59.47 at the Zürich Diamond League in September 2016). She later switched to road races, clocking 2:21:03 in her first marathon attempt in October 2019 in Amsterdam (4th). In April 2022, she finished 3rd of the Paris marathon in 2:23:16.

not here...

 

those idiots from Sky Italia has the tv rights but doesn't broadcast this meet...and the stream is geoblocked, of course (not a real problem, but still just another "censorship act" by skysport here in Italy -it will be the same with Baseball's WBC...exclusive rights, but they will show only the games of the Italian team and the final 4...it's always the same with international football...there's no competition they show in full according to their tv rights...and they just can't use the online service to make up for the lack of linear tv channels).

    • Weightlifting formula is more or less similar to 2020 which was considered terrible by everybody!    this is a tough sport, you can't be in your best shape for too many events. there will be risks of serious injuries this way. with these rules you need 5 good results to qualify. if you bomb out in an event to score a zero you are out of the Olympics unless you replace it with another event. which means most of these poor guys have to participate in 7-8 events (and not just 5) to make up for possible bomb outs.    most importantly if you get injured anytime during this period (almost 2 years) you are out of the Olympics! that's how Sohrab Moradi missed the Tokyo Olympics despite breaking the WR during the qualification period. you can miss the Olympics in 2028 if you get injured late 2026 !  Karlos Nasar couldn't win the Olympic title if we had these rules in 2024   I understand 2024 qualification formula wasn't great either, it had its own flaws but this one is much worse for threatening athletes' health.

Although the agenda has not been published yet, there shouldn’t be any major items over these two days, apart from the election of a member of the IOC Executive Board.
